Clips of those putting down some of them in Ring (5)
I believe the answer is:
hooks
'clips' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hooks that I've seen before include "Hang things on them" , "Catches" , "Boxing blows" , "Catchy phrases in pop songs" .)
